In some cases, Vanguard requires authorization from an additional Vanguard account owner before the bank can be linked.
Additional Vanguard account owners can provide authorization by logging on and navigating to their secure message center, accessing the secure message titled "Bank Authorization Needed" and following the steps provided. The additional Vanguard account owner(s) will only need to provide authorization one time.
Once you've submitted the bank information you can check the authorization status on the Bank summary page.
